===2004年美国总统经济报告===
CEA发布的2004年2月总统经济报告引起了一些争议。在一次新闻发布会上，曼昆谈及自由贸易的好处，特别提到美国公司把工作外包“从长远来看，可能促成了经济增长”。<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/12/bush.outsourcing | work=CNN | title=Bush adviser backs off pro-outsourcing comment | date=February 11, 2004 | accessdate=May 19, 2010 | archive-date=2019-09-01 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190901233535/http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/12/bush.outsourcing/ | dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/2770517/Mankiw_PoliticsEconomics.pdf |title=存档副本 |accessdate=2018-08-02 |archive-date=2018-08-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180802132055/https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/2770517/Mankiw_PoliticsEconomics.pdf |dead-url=no }}</ref> 尽管在经济分析中主流的观点都是如此，这仍受到了在很多政客的指责，<ref>[http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/02/13/opinion/main600351.shtml] {{Wayback|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/02/13/opinion/main600351.shtml |date=20130514014144 }} CBS news.com</ref><ref name="Man1">{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/12/bush.outsourcing/|title=CNN.com - Bush adviser backs off pro-outsourcing comment - Feb. 12, 2004|website=www.cnn.com|accessdate=2018-08-02|archive-date=2019-09-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190901233535/http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/12/bush.outsourcing/|dead-url=no}}</ref>而这些政客无不例外都在当年早些时候宣称工作外包是劳动力市场萎靡不振，恢复缓慢的元凶。<ref name="Man1"/>
这份报告中的一个反问也造成了公众的指责（曼昆关于这一报告的的讲话也重复了这一观点）：<ref>[http://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/economic_report-20040217.html Remarks on the 2004 Economic Report of the President to the National Economists Club and Society of Government Economists<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060122205704/http://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/economic_report-20040217.html |date=2006-01-22 }}</ref> “当快餐店卖出一个汉堡，它是提供了一种服务还是组装原材料来生产一件产品？”这个问题的重点在于制造业和服务业两种工作类型的区分多多少少有点随意。政策中的划分基准，亦是如此。尽管这个问题并不是在这份报告里第一次提出，但是一篇新闻报道了政府试图通过把诸如汉堡厨师的工作重新归类为制造业来隐瞒制造业的失业率升高的事实，这引起了公众的指责。<ref>[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D02EFDC113DF933A15751C0A9629C8B63 "In the New Economics: Fast-Food Factories?"] , ''[[The New York Times]]'', February 20, 2004.
